After writing about the Swingline Half-Strip Personal Electric Stapler and Swingline 113 XD StrongArm Heavy-Duty Stapler,

I decided to write about this Swingline 747 Classic Full Strip Stapler; even though I recommended against manual staplers.  Well, after thinking about it for a while, I came to a conclusion that manual staplers can come in handy too. I usually use this unit for my regular daily use.


DESIGN :
The Swingline 747 Full Strip is nicely designed to take less of my desk space; this is always good for me because I can use all the space I can get. The black and chrome color is nice because it matches with all other office supplies and electronics on my desk like my Swingline Half-Strip, Panasonic KX-T7425B Phone, and Canon P1-DH III Calculator. The design is compact and tough at the same time.


PERFORMANCE :
The Swingline 747 Full Strip can handle up to twenty (20) (20 lb) sheets at one time, which is a lot more than what I use it for on a daily basis. I usually use my Swingline Half-Strip Electric Stapler for my multiple smaller needs but this unit always comes in handy for the one or two small jobs.

I have stapled about fifteen to twenty pages at a time with this stapler and this unit does not seem to give up until the staples run out. It does not freeze up when used excessively; it does the job correctly every single time. If you do have more than twenty pages that you want to staple together, I would suggest using something that can handle more pages.

Loading staples is easy as one two three… Just lift the black top up from the chrome staple holder, replace the staples, and push it down and you are done.

So far this unit has performed as it should for me and I know it will continue to do so for a very long time.
